The new guidance will not apply in areas where local lockdown measures are in place, the government said.

Masks need be worn in salons by clients, but can be taken off when required to receive a treatment. More guidelines on wearing masks can be found here.

This means that beauty professionals will be allowed to provide all close contact services - meaning facial treatments will be permitted again. No restrictions have been announced at the time of writing but it is understood that enhanced safety measures are to be followed by adhering to the close contact government guidance.
